Overview What is Forterra's ant control service?
Forterra Ant Control in Southlake treats the mound population and the perimeter as separate problems. Fire ants build where irrigated ground stays damp and sunlit, which describes much of a maintained Southlake lawn, while odorous house ants come in at the slab edge behind planting.
Your office
Forterra Southlake.
The Southlake office is where Forterra started in 2021 and it has not moved, so a property is serviced by the building that sets the standards rather than one following them at a distance. W-2 technicians, every visit logged, and the ★ 5.0 rating across 2,080 Google reviews sits on this office's own profile.

On the ground in Southlake
Irrigation, mulch beds and fire ant mounds.
Southlake lots are large and heavily irrigated, and that combination is what drives most of the ant work out of this office. Fire ants build where the ground stays damp and the sun reaches it, which describes a great deal of maintained lawn here, and mounds reappear after every heavy watering cycle whether or not the previous ones were treated. Mulch beds against the foundation give a second population somewhere to sit out the dry weeks.
Indoors the species usually changes. What walks into a Southlake kitchen is more often an odorous house ant that came through the slab edge behind a bed, not a fire ant from the lawn, and treating one as if it were the other wastes a visit. We identify before we treat, work the mound population and the perimeter as two separate jobs, and pull mulch back from the wall where it is doing more harm than good.

Why baiting beats spraying
We treat the colony, not the trail.
Irrigation is what drives this. Mounds return after heavy watering whether or not the previous ones were treated, and mulch beds against the foundation shelter a second population through the dry weeks.
Stage 01
01
Identify species
Fire ant, carpenter ant and sugar ant fail to different treatments.
Fire ant, carpenter ant and odorous house ant each fail differently. Five minutes of identification decides the whole treatment plan.
Stage 02
02
Bait colonies
Workers carry the bait home and feed it to the queen for us.
When the nest can be found, we treat the colony directly. When it cannot, baits and non-repellent sprays go where the trails are, and the workers carry the product home to the queen and brood, slower, but it is how a colony actually dies.
Stage 03
03
Seal routes
The routes get sealed and the quarterly barrier keeps pressure outside.
Ants enter through gaps a credit card can't fit. The Zero Gap perimeter treatment closes the routes, and quarterly visits keep the pressure outside.
Your yard, from above
Where the ant battle actually happens, zone by zone.
Mounds reappearing across an irrigated lawn, a trail at the slab edge behind a mulch bed, and carpenter ants in landscape timber.

- 01
Foundation band
The perimeter line where trails cross into the house. The Zero Gap band here is what separates yard ants from kitchen ants.
- 02
Fence-line beds
Fire ant mounds pop up in the open lawn, not along cover. Single mounds get individual treatment; a yard that keeps producing them gets broadcast granular bait across the whole lawn.
- 03
Shaded beds
Moist mulch under trees hosts odorous house ant colonies, the 'sugar ants' that split when sprayed.
- 04
Under the deck
Protected soil that never gets raked, a favorite nesting void for multiple colonies at once.
- 05
Garage corner
Sweet spills and pet food make the garage the ants' first indoor stop. targeted spray work live here.
- 06
Garden beds
Trees are nests too. Carpenter ants love crape myrtles, and ants trailing one near the house almost always means a colony in it. Beds and trunks get checked together.

Frequently asked
Questions in Southlake, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Because the lawn population and the indoor trail are usually different species with different nests. Treating a Southlake kitchen trail does nothing to the fire ant mounds outside, and neither treatment addresses the irrigation keeping both comfortable.
Painful rather than dangerous for most people, though a cluster is worth taking seriously. On large Southlake lawns where children play, a mound near the play area is worth removing rather than watching, and anyone with a sting allergy should not be deciding that themselves.
Carpenter ants tunnel and leave coarse sawdust; termites eat and leave mud tubes. On Southlake properties carpenter ants often start in landscape timber, pergola posts or bed edging rather than the house, which changes the job entirely.
Treatment follows the trails and the mound locations rather than broadcasting across lawn, which keeps it away from where children and pets actually spend time. We say which areas to stay off and for how long.
Covered by the quarterly plan at $49 a month, initial service from $149. Large irrigated Southlake lawns carrying a heavy fire ant load often need dedicated yard treatment, quoted separately so you can see what it is.
